CEO – Ph.D.
About
Dora Koller, CEO (Chief Executive Officer), is currently a postdoctoral fellow with a Marie Curie Individual Fellowship at the University of Barcelona.
She has multidisciplinary experience in research including epidemiology and genetics, advanced statistics, clinical trials, and experimental methods. She received her Ph.D. degree in clinical pharmacology from the Autonomous University of Madrid in July 2020, where she and Miriam started working closely together.
After her Ph.D., Dora worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Yale University for three years. Despite her youth, she has already led several projects from idea to publication, published 62 peer-reviewed scientific articles, participated as an analyst in multiple international consortia, and communicated her findings to non-scientific audiences, including participating in a panel discussion about the first documentary on endometriosis, “Below the belt” (produced by Hillary Clinton).
Her recent paper about the psychiatric comorbidities of endometriosis gained significant media attention and has been accessed more than 17,000 times. She received multiple prestigious fellowships (such as Marie Curie fellowship from the European Commission during her Ph.D. and postdoctoral training), and several awards (such as the 2021 Charles J. Epstein Trainee Awards for Excellence in Human Genetics Research from the American Society of Human Genetics).
Her research on endometriosis was inspired by her own fight and limited information about the disease.
She would like to be part of revolutionizing women’s health after decades of “undone science”. In her free time, Dora loves to spend time with her daughter, bake, go to the beach and visit her friends all around the globe.
